Well, it is still big project and not so easy to say what needed.

In any case, substantial part has to be bound in order to get into
writing multi-platform desktop app.

That's hard for me to say.

I'll take a look to see if it makes sense to me. :)

I'm also not capable to lead such project and would have to take that
into consideration when deciding which GUI toolkit to use with D.

In any case, for now, I plan to learn more D, master some CMake and
start playing with SWIG in order to provide bindings for 3rd party C
library which we'll use.

Then, in the meantime, maybe there will be more clear which toolkit is
optimal to use when writing desktop app in D *today*.


Sincerely,
